Chapter 492: You lost your biological daughter; you deserve it [Update 1]_3 Chapter 492: You lost your biological daughter; you deserve it [Update 1]_3 First-tier university admission score: 532
Second-tier university admission score: 454
Upon seeing the first-tier university admission score, Ying Yuexuan’s heart also filled with desolation.
Although she had passed the threshold for first-tier universities, it was almost as if she hadn’t; she might as well give up on them.
All because of Ying Zijin.
If she hadn’t been repeatedly disturbed by Ying Zijin, she wouldn’t have been so preoccupied during the college entrance exam, constantly thinking about other things.
Ying Yuexuan felt regret.
She had placed too much importance on Ying Zijin, focusing solely on surpassing her, only to trip over herself in the end.
She could only retake the year.
Ying Yuexuan went to a public phone on the street and called Zhong Manhua, “Mom, I really didn’t do it on purpose this time, is it okay if I retake the year?”
She still held hope for Zhong Manhua.
“I’ve told you, stop calling me ‘Mom’!” Zhong Manhua obviously knew what the first-tier university admission score was, “I don’t have a daughter who only passed the threshold by two points!”
“You want to retake the year? Do you know how embarrassing that would be for me? Your classmates are all going to university and you’d still be in high school? Isn’t that humiliating? Huh?!”
Hearing this, Ying Yuexuan’s long-suppressed resentment finally erupted in full force.
What was wrong with her retaking the year?
How normal was it to start over?
Ying Yuexuan shrieked hysterically, “Face, face, face! Is that all you care about? Can’t you live without your precious ‘face’?”
Zhong Manhua was taken aback for a moment, and then, in disbelief, said, “How dare you raise your voice at me?”
“Yes, I’m shouting at you,” Ying Yuexuan sneered, tearing the facade apart, “You’ve lost your biological daughter, and you deserve it, you brought it on yourself!”
“Don’t say it’s for my own good, it’s all for your damned ‘face’! Now that Ying Zijin is the top scholar of the college entrance exam and I’ve failed, you feel imbalanced. You want to drive me out and bring her back in.”
“But you deserve it, don’t you? She ignores you, brother is disappointed in you too, don’t you deserve it?”
Each word struck a nerve, merciless to the core.
Zhong Manhua slammed down the phone.
She was truly heartbroken and cried out, utterly desperate.
She treated Ying Yuexuan no worse than she did Ying Tianlv, perhaps even better.
Ying Yuexuan was not her own flesh and blood, but she had treated her as if she were.
And now, this was how Ying Yuexuan repaid her?
Was it not justified for her to be angry about Ying Yuexuan’s poor exam performance?
Why did none of her children understand her?
Zhong Manhua genuinely didn’t want Ying Yuexuan to retake the year, to avoid gossip.
But she hadn’t given up on Ying Yuexuan; it was just her pride speaking, spouting a few harsh words more than she should have.
She had been planning to send Ying Yuexuan abroad, having prepared everything.
After all, there was no other option since Ying Yuexuan’s college entrance exam score was too low.
But now, Zhong Manhua simply felt chilled to the bone.
For the sake of a foster daughter, she had lost her outstanding biological daughter.
Before Zhong Manhua could sink deeper into sorrow, the home phone rang at that moment. The call was from the First Hospital.
Zhong Manhua immediately snapped to attention, grabbed her bag, and hastily left the house.
Twenty minutes later.
Zhong Manhua hurriedly rushed to the hospital, accompanied by Ying Tianlv.
Ying Tianlv stepped forward, frowning, “Doctor, what’s the matter? Wasn’t the patient already stabilized?”
“The patient was already in poor condition, barely stabilizing, but today they suddenly deteriorated again,” said the attending doctor, appearing rushed and wiping sweat from his brow with a tissue, “We must start the liver transplant surgery immediately. Have you found a matching liver donor?”
